November 11, 2013Morning came and we started the day with a simple prep since we’ll be staying at the same hotel in Kyoto so there was no need to pack everything. Hiroshi brought his camera along with his camera bag while I brought his camera stand and used its bag as a purse. After carrying all my stuff around for the past two days, I’ve never ( Read more... )

Early in the morning…

“What are you doing?” I asked waking up.
“Recording the sunrise,” he replied.
“… Can I turn on the lights?”
“Sure.”

And that’s how the glare ended up on the video.The weather has gotten worst and our first stop happens to be outdoors: Kenroku-en Garden in Kanazawa, one of the top three gardens in Japan. The ( Read more... )

We landed in Haneda Airport around 5am on Saturday (completely skipping Friday) and the first thing I went to is the public restroom. Yup, I was definitely in Japan with their same high-tech stuff to keep my butt clean. It took a while for me to get used to it.

The day finally arrived when I’m leaving on my Japan trip and yet I still don’t feel like I’m going there. If anything, the only time I felt like I was going there was when I bought the tickets which was almost a year ago. As the months passed to weeks, to days, and now hours, I still don’t feel like I’m going to Japan. It hasn’t sunk in yet ( Read more... )

Today is the day that I will be leaving for Japan with Hiroshi and one of the things I didn’t expect 10 months prior when I bought the tickets (next time I should buy it 6 months beforehand) was Final Fantasy XIV. Since last night was going to be my last run before my vacation, I decided to do a dungeon marathon to level up my Healer so that I will ( Read more... )

Ten months has finally passed and my long awaited Japan trip is less than four days away. It’s hard to believe I’ll be leaving this Thursday since I waited so long. My excitement must’ve died along the months and Hiroshi felt the same way too. He sorted of started packing last night which prompted me to do so as well when I came home last night. To ( Read more... )

It’s now down to about a month before me and Hiroshi’s Japan trip and its safe to say I have everything I need. Well, it’s not so hard to pack for a ten-day trip especially when I’ll only be bringing a backpack. This is definitely going to be my most light-weight oversea travel ever. I’m not too worried about how I’ll look or what I’ll wear since ( Read more... )

Just bought myself Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Here I thought I would stop playing that series since IX. Well, I played I, II, IV, V, VI, and VII. Both VIII and X didn't caught my interest but I did finished the final boss for both games. As for the later series, I totally skipped it ( Read more... )

Sometimes the smartest man can say the dumbest things, the wealthiest can have the poorest manners, and the good looking can be ugly on the inside ( Read more... )

Work just got more fun when I was assigned to making videos like this:

I've never thought my company would ever allow me to work on my elements at work. Surprisingly, it was the company's vice president who thought of this idea. He obviously went to Anime Expo last weekend with his daughter.

Either way it's a win on both ends :)
